Really sorry for last months cancellation but boy was I ill..48 hours without emerging from under the duvet...lawns grew in protest,taps leaked, tyres deflated,infants bawled but nothing could stir me. However after a weekend cycling in the Derbyshire Dales and quaffing ..well anything put before me to be frank. I'm back in the Balladeers saddle...
This month so far we have the ever reliable Emma and The Professor with or without Brian Stone on fiddle... i dont yet know..there could be other surprises....last time they turned up with a trumpet player ...and Emma was still louder...!
Some of you will have previously seen Mark and Jill from the Rhythm Thieves at the Dukes and in Hay. Now we get to see their professional and melodic performance as part of the full Rhythm Thieves which is a fine addition to the nights entertainment..see more at Rhythm Thieves website
Finally bright new talent Alex Cook makes a first appearance at Balladeers with his 5 piece band Ceilyx
As yet, in true tradition we await the Chancer, but it is still early days.I guess I need not remind you this gig goes mostly by word of mouth so please let your friends and any musicians who want to have a go know.. it was set up for them to try after all.

- Balladeers and Chancers
- So what is this?... Balladeers and Chancers is an acoustic, non-exclusive night that builds on the laid back and welcoming environment at the Dukes pub in Presteigne for musicians and customers alike. Every other month we create a space where firt time, occasional or experienced performers have a 20-30 minute spot to play/sing to a friendly audience. We want it to be a place where you feel welcomed to perform for the first time, meet other musicians.There's no door charge but we hope you will show your appreciation on the night towards performers' costs.The only other thing we ask that you pass the word about us on..thanks..Stephe
